Golden State Warriors Klay Thompson has been a difference maker, despite silly pre-draft history
You knew this was coming . . .Years ago the Utah Jazz had two lottery picks in the same 2011 NBA Draft. They had the #3 pick, and they had the #12 pick. They would eventually select Enes Kanter and Alec Burks. But before that day an intrepid blogger / fan / manager / weirdo had a different set of players selected for the Jazz. No, these were not the picks he wanted, but if things fell within a specific order, these were the two guys he felt that the Jazz would take. At #3 the Jazz should have taken Brandon Knight. And at #12 . . . Klay Thompson. That full post can be found over here, if you are interested in going back in time. Today Kanter isn't even with the team and Burks is coming off the bench behind a shooting guard drilling barely 30% of his threes (Rodney Hood). The other two guys?
